Reporting broken download link

Reporting broken download link

Hi, I am trying to install the latest OpenOffice suite from the Apache
website ( I believe it is version 4.1.6). Every time i try to execute the
installation of the download; it says it cannot complete the installation
as Open Office is open or Open Office Quickstarter is open and needs to be
closed before the new version is installed.... I have removed all programs
I can find on my computer, which is running Windows 7 64 bit mode; except
for the Open Office program in the Control Panel list of programs as when I
try to deinstall this it comes up with the above same notice to close the
program and Quickstarter....Help!!!!

You need to start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and kill all soffice processes shown on TM's tabs. Note: "soffice", with an initial "s".
